Melissa5 Stars Out Of 5Almost too realFebruary 5, 2015MelissaQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5If you have read Frank Perettis This Present Darkness and like it then this is a book you will thoroughly enjoy.
From the beginning I was pulled into this book and the realness of it. This book is so close to real life and what teen-agers struggle with.
Our four characters are all going through something, or have gone through something and the enemy is playing on the their weakness and wounds.
Oh, to be inside the head of the enemy made me so mad sometimes because I know these are the games he really tries to play with us and our children. He even talks about how he knows he cant take down those that are already believers but can make us ineffectivegrrrr.
This book is layered in truth and grounded in the Word. I think it was eye-opening for me to read this and be reminded how the enemy uses seemingly innocent things for his twisted plans.
The main characters are young but I dont feel this is a young adult novel. I believe this book is for everyone and parents with teens will especially glean a lot from this book.
This is a novel I highly recommend :)
A copy of this book was given to me by the publisher through the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review.

An interested readerAge: Under 185 Stars Out Of 5Excellent read-aloud book for parents of teensNovember 18, 2011An interested readerAge: Under 18Quality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5As a mother of teens, I have been reading this book aloud a chapter or two a night to our 14 year old son. The book is a great tool to break down barriers between children and adults and open communication on sensitive topics of spiritual warfare and other items like abortion, suicide, occultism and spiritualism counterfeits, teen sex, abstinence, eating disorders, etc. Reading it aloud showed my son that Mamma could be trusted not to "freak out" when hearing about bad things his classmates or others might be doing. Our 16 year old daughter also read this and was highly encouraged in her spiritual walk.
In addition to addressing teen issues, the book shows that even parents can be deceived and manipulated by the evil ones and that our kids can stand alongside us in this spiritual battle and encourage us to do what is right, too. It has some surprising twists in the story. Our family highly recommends this book!! -
sunnygranPhoenixAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A must read for believers of all agesSeptember 6, 2011sunnygranPhoenixAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I love Randy Alcorn's books and teaching. This one was so hard-hitting and relevant for today's world that I ordered one for each of my adult children to give them perspective of the supernatural realm and how real it is whether we want to see it or not. It covers so many areas with such great insight - truly eye opening.

ArieToronto ONAge: Under 18Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent well-written, captivating, rivetingOctober 14, 2010ArieToronto ONAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Imagine life as a puppet show, you are the puppets on the stage and every action and event is actually plotted and manipulated by the puppeteers who happen to be angels of good and evil. What if you were allowed to eavesdrop on this conspiracy and hear the devious plots and strategies of the evil ones?
This book is about four young people, Jillian Fletcher, Ian Stewart, Brittany Powell, Rob Gonzales and the struggles thrust upon them by their culture and their hidden enemies.
The book shows that the enemies of these characters are really a group of demons (the main ones being Prince Ishbane and his subordinate Lord Foulgrin) who plot to deceive and destroy the group of friends that they call "human vermin". While the main story is enacted the authors allow the readers to go back stage and eavesdrop on Lord Foulgrin and Prince Ishbane's letters that detail the evil plots to destroy these human vermin and outwit the forces of good, painted as "the Enemy." These letters are written in old English the language of these demons who claim to have been around for more than 1000 years. The letters are actually quite entertaining and hilarious and in no way scary.
The authors present the struggles that the four main characters face over one year of their life and use their life stories to highlight some of the common teenage challenges and their consequences; some of which include: dating and the unwanted consequence of teenage pregnancy, drinking and the unwanted consequence of a car accident. These issues are all presented as a part of the unfolding riveting drama of this book creating awareness in the reader of real life issues but do so in an entertaining eye opening "want to read" manner.
The main character, Jillian, is faced with the struggles of a teen including the recent death of her dad. The teens unaware of the hidden plot "The Ishbane Conspiracy" engage, unknowingly, in a battle for their lives and experience the joy of victory and the pain of disappointments while bonding and discovering the value of true friendship. Read this book and discover who wins in this battle.
I really enjoyed this book because it was very exciting and always had me on the edge of my seat. It was also funny and entertaining to read, especially Prince Ishbane's letters to Lord Foulgrin. I also enjoyed it because it was a real eye-opener and taught valuable life lessons as it showed the good of making the right choices and the terrible consequences of making wrong ones.
I would recommend this book to teens and preteens but as well parents and teachers. Even though the book is about teens it doesn't mean that it's only for teens. This book will help preteens and teens to successfully combat the struggles of the teenageyears and help us make right choices. It will increase one's awareness of the strategies of the devil and how he will stop at nothing to destroy us, After reading this book you will think twice before you make choices......you WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
